The Contra Costa County Schools Insurance Group (CCCSIG) is a Joint Powers Authority organized in 1977 for the purposes of self-insuring workers' compensation and health and safety services to its 20 member public school districts in Contra Costa County.

Today, CCCSIG operates a self-insured, self-administered public agency, which is one of the largest of its kind in the State of California. Of the 21 member districts, 19 are K-12 school districts, one County Office of Education and one Community College District. CCCSIG's Workers' Compensation program encompasses 19 districts approximately 20,000 employees and more than $819 million in payroll, which translates to approximately $21 million in workers' compensation premium. Of the 21 member districts, 7 are also members of the Health Benefits program, which continues to grow and expand.

CCCSIG has been recognized for success in leadership by its peers. First accredited by the California Association of Joint Powers Authorities (CAJPA) in 1993, the Group currently is Accredited with Excellence through 2006.

Due to the success of the program since it became self-administered in 1995, the member Superintendents and Governing School Boards supported and implemented changes to the JPA to incorporate the potential for provision of other areas of insurance coverages, the first of which was the health benefits program. CCCSIG will continue to look into other avenues and potential areas of coverage to best serve the members' interests.
